"It was a scarecrow come to life! It had a leather mask on and was holding a handle with a blade...what do you call them? A scythe!" - Scarecrow, Friday the 13th: The Series (1988) #louiserobey #williamfruet #larrywilliams #frankmancusojr #marcscottzicree #retrotv #retrohorror #scarecrow #saturdayfrights #podcast https://www.instagram.com/p/BycMDuuA3h0/?igshid=1fxriji8k5imp
It's just a few more days until the 30th anniversary of the first episode of Friday the 13th the Series. As a long-time fan, I'm kicking myself for the fact that a book about the series was released almost two years ago, and I'm only just noticing now.
When I picked up a copy of Alyse Wax's book “Curious Goods - Behind the Scenes of Friday the 13th: The Series”, I expected an episode list, maybe with a rundown of writers, directors, and guest stars. But what I got was exactly what I want out of a fan book: a lovingly-detailed summary of all 72 episodes, plus interviews, photos, and tons of fascinating details about the background of the show and what went on during the making of each episode.
The title of this TV show confuses an awful lot of people, but forget about Jason and the mask: Friday the 13th the Series (sometimes called Friday's Curse, just to make things more confusing) was a Canadian production in the late 80s, featuring a curiosity shop of cursed antiques, a devil's bargain, an aged mentor, and two "cousins" with unbelievable sexual chemistry. It was awesome.
This month is the 30 year anniversary of the first episode (well, September 28 if you're looking at imdb, October 3 if you're looking, um, anywhere else.) In celebration, Binary System Podcasts presents a gallery of ads, promo shots, and a pile of screen grabs, because we're still completely obsessed. What started out as a plan to grab snaps of 80s costumes, action shots, amazing hair, and goofy villains, quickly spiraled into getting all the evidence that Micki and Ryan were meant for each other.
